For the
first time in MONTHS I feel so happy about our homeschool. I
cannot express in words the relief I have felt. It makes me laugh
when I think about how I got in over my head. I did what I ALWAYS
do and went overboard.
The Lord sparked an excitement
as I looked at it last year. I knew that I didn't want to do more
than one core and yet in my brain when I pulled away from the Lord and
tried to take over in the "flesh" I had tried to make it look "PERFECT"
and just HAD to do two cores.
Karen Brooks, who is the creator
of the winterpromise program even told me herself not to do TWO
cores. She told me it would be too much and I would feel like
giving up but in my perfect little world I really believed I could do
both.
I am pretty much sticking with ACE for my little ones and using all
WinterPromise for my oldest. I have to make up my mind about next
year. I will either continue on teaching WP to my oldest and ACE
to my younger or I will find a core I can combine with all of
them? I don't know yet because I don't NEED to know yet.
The Lord is faithful to show me something when I need to know.
Now, I can't wait to hit WinterPromise HARD and look forward to doing
ACE with my younger guys! (we will still read books from my AW program
but just as read a louds;-)
I'm so glad you have found your "place" with school stuff this year. I TOTALLY understand on us trying to make it right in our flesh when the Lord is clearly showing us otherwise. Sometimes we have to learn the hard way, huh? :-)
You mean we don't have to plan out the next 5 years? LOL LOL LOL I'm finally getting over that too.
Praising Him,
Kim
